Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Queda un espacio vacÃo
an empty space remains
Que no lo puede llenar
that nothing can fill
La llegada de otro amigo
the arrival of another friend
Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Queda un tizón encendido
a burning ember remains
Que no se puede apagar
that can't be put out
Ni con las aguas de un rÃo
not even with the waters of a river
Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Una estrella se ha perdido
a star has been lost
La que ilumina el lugar
the one that lights up the place
Donde hay un niño dormido
where there's a sleeping child
Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Se detienen los caminos
the paths stop
Why se empieza a revelar
and starts to reveal itself
El duende manso del vino
the gentle spirit of the wine
Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Queda un terreno baldÃo
a barren land remains
Que quiere el tiempo llenar
that time wants to fill
Con las piedras del hastÃo
with the stones of weariness
Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Se queda un árbol caÃdo
a fallen tree remains
Que ya no vuelve a brotar
that won't sprout again
Porque el viento lo ha vencido
because the wind has defeated it
Cuando un amigo se va
When a friend leaves
Queda un espacio vacÃo
an empty space remains
Que no lo puede llenar
that nothing can fill
La llegada de otro amigo
the arrival of another friend

tizón — ember
Tizón translates to "ember" or "glowing coal". It's a less common word in everyday Spanish, making it stand out.
In the song, it's used metaphorically to describe the enduring pain and memory when a friend leaves: "queda un tizón encendido que no se puede apagar" (an ember remains lit that cannot be extinguished). This powerful image conveys a deep, unquenchable sorrow, making it a poignant and memorable word.
